A US asylum seeker has been living in Britain with free accommodation and benefits for more than a year in the first case of its kind.
The man, from Las Vegas, fled to the UK claiming he was being persecuted because he is black, Jewish and a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints – the Mormon Church.
He was put up in migrant hotels before his claim was rejected last summer. However, he has not been removed from the UK, and subsequently he was allowed to claim thousands of pounds in accommodation, food and state support.
The case of Olabode Shoniregun, 27, shows the farcical nature of the British asylum system, where people from safe countries are allowed to lodge claims and benefit from taxpayer support.
Even if their asylum claims are rejected, it is months before they are dealt with by Border Force.
In an interview with The Telegraph, Mr Shoniregun said: “The taxpayers are paying for me to be here, and I want to say thank you. I’m grateful for that.”
His story is understood to have caused alarm at the highest levels of the Government, and is thought to be one of the country’s most farcical claims in a system beset by chaos and confusion.

Please keep him.
What's the problem? He milked the Jews and the Mormons for all he could get, so he moved to another place he could milk. < / sarcasm >
Olabode? Sounds like a Beatles tune.
Black/Jewish/Mormon. Not good enough. Now if he took it up the butt and was left handed...
Sounds like a good travel tip to claim asylum there and simply say the threat is over before going back.
Obladi Olabode life goes on.
I must admit that the Telegraph exposing this amazes me. Peraps Britian’s left leaning news outlets are beginning to turn on the stupidity that they keep electing. Nigel Farage needs to step up his game significantly.
Olabode Shoniregun
“Olabode Shoniregun”
As American as 0bama Pie.
Looks like a Nigerian name!
You have clearly captured the essence of this story....
He needs to add “lesbian” to his list of identities. Then he’s untouchable and might even land a job as Fire Chief somewhere.
Please take all our welfare cases.
He’s the right color. If I, a olive skinned WHITE man tried, they would kick me out so fast my bobbie hat would fall off.
Wow!
I just got an idea.
Instead South Sudan, El Salvador or Uganda, why don’t we send all our undesirable, unremovable illegals to to Great Britain?
I think, the Maryland Dad would be glad to do that.
They will take care about them!
Ten to one as soon as they start talking about booting him, he suddenly becomes a moslem. Hell he should have just said that to begin with. And absolutely they can keep him, but something tells me he could bring himself to renounce his citizenship when he applied for asylum.
I WAS NOT AWARE THE LDS CAPTURED JEWISH PERSONS
I had to look to see if it was the Bee.
Mormon will get you no points because they vote overwhelming conservative.
Jew will get you no points because you have too much money. But Muslims are the political system disguised as a religion that the left admires.
Ride it as long as the stupid Brit allow....because if the Brits are paying the American taxpayer isn’t.
